The principal public librarians of the
United States assembled recently to
confer and compare notes with each

papers were read. and public attention
was called to the condition Of our free
libraries by the reports which were
made. 1t is interesting to know that,
every year, new free public libraries
are beng established in different
places through the country. II il only
little moro than thirty years since
the idea of having such libraries, to
which all tho people might, without
paying any thing, have free access,
took practical form.
The first free public library in tho
United States was that Mt Boston.
which is now one of the largest and
most valuable collection Of books and
periodicals i'm the land. The example
thus set by Boston has been followed
by many cities and towns. especially
in New England. Some of the towns
have erected expensive and handsome
buildings for their libraries. rs IL
proud of them. The total number of
public libraries in the United States Ia
said to be six hundred and forty

These libraries have been established
in two ways. They are supported
either from generous cndowments
made for the purpose by rich and
public-spiritod private citizens, or thoy
are carried ON 10y sums voted yearly

will rapidly increase throughout the
country, and that in time no American

Remains of the Rednnan.

HARTFORD, Conn, Oct. 31.-The vicinity
of Bantam Lake abounds with implements
and relics of an extinct race of Indians, who
made the shores their camping place and the
back woods their hunting ground. Speci-
mems of arrow heads, axes, bowls, pipes and
beads have found their way into nearly all
the college collections of Indian relics, and
curiosity seekers may often be seen hunting
the fields for rare objects. Few Indian
graves have been found in this region, al
though it is generally supposed that the
bones of stalwart chiefs and their followers
lie somewhere near the lake. Recently a
grave was found on the farm of Amos Ben
ton, which will undoubtedly lead to further
discoveries. The grave is in the centre of
large sand pit near pine forest. The land
is quite low, and few years ago was COW
cred with water. Workmen who were re-
moving sand for building purposes noticed
an isolated spot of black loan about five
feet wide and ten feet long. In this soil
were found pieces of skull, thigh bones and
vertebr8, the skeleton evidently having
been in a sitting posture. With the bones
were several trinketS, a stone pipe-b0wl,
and finely cut flint arrowhead. The ar
row-heads taken out are perfect, the edges
being as keen as when first made. The flint
is of a kind not found in Connecticut, SINH
lar to varieties on Long Island. With the
bones in the graves were several pieces of
black stone, which, when rubbed on the wet
hand, give red stain of the shade seen on
the painted cheeks of Indians. These are
believed to be the pigments used for war
painting. The last Indians known to have
lived then were a peaceful tribe, and the
last of them did not disappear until 80 years
ago, but the graves discovered on Mr.. Ben
toms land are believed to be of a former
tribe, and at least 200 years old.

acres Of land and the mill is a large two and

they claim one Of the best, II not the best,
dryhouse in the State. The dryhouse will
hold 2s,OoO feet Of lumber. 1t has two walls
six inches apart, between which sawdnst Is
packed to make the dryroom as tight as
possible. A twenty-five horse power boiler
furnishes the steam, which heats the air in
large square iron she'll or heater, In which
there is 1900 feet Of steam pipe. The steam
doeshot enter the dryhouse but the air
heated by it is famed into the room by
large fan propelled by a ten horse power

The fish way, which is now being built, Is
constructed to facilitate the passage Of the
salmon up the river. Heretofore the only
way the fish could get up the river was TO
jump the dam. The foundation Is made Of
